That solves that mystery for me! Thanks! And makes me want to sort the bracket issue even more...

On a side note - I am note sure what the crossover even does. I can light all the burners easily, on their own. The only thing I see it doing is allowing me to start one burner and then turn the others on (and they then light). Its just as easy to turn on burners as needed and light them as...

My backyard looks like a Weber showroom so you would think they would help....:)

Sorry for the confusion - I should have been more clear. I appreciate your input on a possible fix - it is good advise. I wonder if I will have room to drill a new hole? I think I might...so frustrating as I take good care of the grill but did not think about these rusting out.

I totally agree. I was surprised. They were not going to even give me the new brackets at first! I keep getting the same person (using email). I am going to give heat and some high end tools a go. Then maybe I call support rather than use email? Thanks!!

Understood. I should have been clearer. I want to replace the brackets that hold the burner tubes. So I can attach the crossover. The crossover attaches to these brackets. As you say, when needed, I could replace the burners pretty easy. Thanks!

I tried that - they will not. They supplied a new crossover and new brackets and told me I would need to drill out the bad bolts. :-(

This shows my situation... I have taken off the crossover for the photo. You can see at the top where the screw to attach the crossover is "gone" - corroded off. The issue I want to solve is to remove the bolt (also highlighted) so I can replace the 4 brackets where the burners sit and the...

Mine is a UK model? Maybe that is the difference as it comes with a crossover? I was unclear in that the bolts to hold the crossover in place are gone - corroded off. I removed the crossover for the photo so folks could see the bracket the the crossover bolts "gone" (corroded off) and the...

I removed the crossover to show the situation better....I will for sure get good screws if I can get the old ones out. If you have any ideas on that, please advise? Will try some heat around the area next

Big Weber fan and owner. I have two WSM, Weber Firepit, portable Weber and and a Genesis II S-410. I was doing work on the Genesis II S-410. I needed to replace a burnt out crossover tube but the screws in it had rusted off. Not a big issue as I could pull the crossover right off. But I could...

Just curious if anyone can help with this? I usually smoke a whole packer brisket but wanting to do TWO points. My source can provide flats, points or packers and in this case, I am keen to do TWO points. I monitor internal temprature so that will drive when I pull the points but just...

I am a long time WSM user based in the UK. I like to use a mix of mostly Australian Heat Beads plus some lump and wood chunks. In the UK, Austrlian Heat Beads have been getting harder and harder to get - so I guess I need to find an alternative? At least that is my experience. Any...

Agree with this 100%. I have a Hunsaker Vortex Fire Basket which I now only use when doing chicken. My family and I do not like it for other things. But that is just a matter of our taste buds. For longer cooks, I use a water pan with a foil wrapped pizza pan on top of my water pan to make...

That is awesome! Nice job...I have some spare original doors and know what I am going to try. Thank you!!
